Notable artists such as Killswitch Engage, Arch Enemy, As I Lay Dying, Shadow’s Fall, All That Remains and Asking Alexandria have come to rely on Maxon overdrives for their brutal guitar tones on stage and in the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe irony here (pun intended) is that Maxon has never offered a pedal tailored to the needs of the metal guitarist – until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroducing the Maxon SM-9 Pro+ Super Metal – specifically designed for high-gain distortion tones, the SM-9‘s flexible saturation circuit can churn out everything from classic NWOBHM crunch through to the throaty chunk of today’s drop-tuned metal extremes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloping such a pedal was no easy task, and the Pro+ was on the drawing board for years before Maxon felt it was ready for release.  Several unique “tricks” were incorporated into its design to create a pedal that is as versatile as it is merciless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForgoing the use of conventional tone controls, the SM-9 instead features Scoop and Edge knobs to dial in the riffage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Scoop control is a mid-band elimination filter with a range from 200 Hz – 2 KHz.  This control adjusts the frequency range where the pedal’s midrange cut is centered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the amount of mid scoop is determined, any high-end loss can be dialed back in using the Edge control - a Hi-cut shelving filter continuously variable between 2-15 kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese two controls are highly interactive and work much like a parametric equalizer – Adjusting both knobs simultaneously allows the user to find the perfect mix of brutality and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SM-9’s Gain control adjusts the degree of saturation the pedal provides.  This control is actually a dual-ganged pot that increases the amount of distortion while simultaneously boosting the upper midrange band up to 20 dB at 1 kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy boosting and cutting specific frequency bands in relation to Gain, the SM-9’s controls allow the user to sculpt brutal, beefy guitar tones that retain note clarity and definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pro+ also offers switchable 9- or 18-volt operation.  In Classic mode, the SM-9 runs at the incoming 9 volts DC, greatly extending battery life.  Switching to stabilized 18-volt operation increases headroom, frequency range, and dynamic response of the pedal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the SM-9’s controls and voltage options, an almost unlimited variety of monstrous high-gain tones can be dialed in. Whether you’re a full-time metal maniac or just need the occasional “nuclear blast” without the bulk or volume of a full stack, the Maxon SM-9 Pro + Super Metal will deliver the goods.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maxon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12075064833,"sku":"20MAX026","price":219.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/Maxon-9Series-SM9ProPlus-300px_1024x1024_2x_9e7d5924-afb3-4ad1-8eca-bce06cd95233.jpg?v=1727402506"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/collections\/maxon.oembed","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
